Lyrics:
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the path of must we
Just because the son has come
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but the past and done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want - เพลง

My son introduced me to Tool. He was obsessed with them. I love them, too. He and his wife even took me to a Tool concert. It was mind-blowing. My son died recently at 46. I am getting a Third Eye tattoo to commemorate him. I am broken, but listening to Tool brings wonderful memories of him.
Bless you. You beautiful soul
God bless you
I'm so so so sorry for your loss.
We are all brothers and sisters in this wonderful music. Your son will forever be with you through us and music.
Sorry Diane! Much love.
I'm a recovering meth addict I injected at least a 8 ball a day for years . This song perfectly describes addiction . It reminds me why I can't go back and that there's nothing to go back to . 18 months clean and sober today . . .
Stay motivated, stay focused, stay alive....
Keep it up Chris. You're right,there's nothing to go back to...
Ты молодец!! Желаю здоровья и удачи. Ты сильный человек, если бросил🤝.
Stay strong!
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Hope you’re doing well man.
"I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down."
Solid truth.
?? Who said that
@@selinagroves7074 The lyrics
To all of you on your sobriety journey, stay strong. You are worth it.
Thank you for this
❤
23 days clean from opiates. Man, am I feeling this song today. The struggle is real. One day at a time.
Congrats and a day at a time
One moment at a time 👌🏼 keep the hard work
Hang in there you got this!!!
YOU are a beautiful and strong woman, congratulations bby♡
Stay strong, because some of the worst situations of your life await you ahead. Maintain your conscious contact and build the strongest support system you can, cuz you will need them more than anything 🙏🤟
Memories of a long lost time when MTV was still actually good.
I miss waking up and throwing on mtv to listen to the music and watch videos now it's all crap with no music
@@AROY413 Headbangers Ball late at night. Ricky Rackman or Rob Zombie?
beavis and butthead was the best and i do miss music videos when they meant something
audio and video is so guey, yeh
I know right?!!
I didn’t understand this song when my dad would listen to it until i got older. It hurt knowing he battled addiction his whole life but he won in the end. He died the day after his birthday after finally being completely clean for 3 months. Tool reminds me of him, and I won’t ever stop listening to them.
Sorry for your loss
sorry for your loss but saying someone beat addiction let alone "won" after only being clean for 3 months is ridiculous
@jacencib Let em have this one.
@@jacencibwhat a tone deaf thing to say.
@@jacencibIf you don't have anything useful to say, don't say anything god damn
Just quit fentynal last sunday morning. Sunday night thru thrusday was a nightmare. 18 years of this shit. Waking up christmas morning completely sober and feeling better than expected.
How’s it going bud
@@Average_enjoyerrhe relapsed and od’ed, guaranteed.
@@TJ-W Sadly that "better than expected" feeling becomes boring and mundane quickly and many people go back to whatever they were doing even harder than before. I'm there now, and all the reasons I drank are glaring me in the face and I cannot escape them without drinking or using.
@@ramsesosirus
holy fuck take some responsibility dude
you’re just burying your head in the sand it’s sad
it’s an illusion with drugs and once I saw that at least I didn’t have a lie as a vice
things are still difficult for me but that doesn’t change no matter what I take
Deletion is always in the cards for myself. But in no way is a lie like drugs or alcohol going to be the reason.
Keep going! Never look back! Proud of you.
There's a humanity to stop motion that CGI can never emulate. This is a classic example
wow....soooo true......what a great comment....brilliantly put....here friend,take this,th-cam.com/video/bCnocG3ZzoQ/w-d-xo.html
Last 39 se
Final Riff equal to any ever
I think that part of it comes from stop motion (and other practical effects) being real. Even if they aren't totally convincing they are still real things that physically exist in reality which lends them a certain emotional weight that CGI very often lacks. This clip is disgustingly beautiful, and I love it.
Another example would be the creatures in the Evil Dead movies. They aren't totally believable, but they do physically exist, which makes them somewhat "scarier" than most CGI monsters.
That's no CGI, It's clay
Stop motion is way more entertaining.
All these comments of people saying that they’ve ended their addiction or have been sober for a while. All of you amazing people keep strong and don’t give in. God bless you all.
Join them not too late
Lee Edmonds I haven’t been addicted to anything. Never drank alcohol, done drugs, or smoke. But I will remember to do that if things change for me.
@@crippledcrusader1321 I'm just here for the comments... never did opiates or other hard drugs....I just wanted to know what was in the box 🤷♂️
I have a long way to go..
lena spaid keep going on that path to recovery. I hope you keep going and break your addiction.
I could remember several years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source. I'm 64 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Greece. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.raymycology. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

I am ten months clean and sober today after my brother and dad both died in addiction i am no longer homeless and helping others. Believe it or not im actually a U.K Hip Hop rapper too lol and just found this band ! Great music ❤️ Whoever needs to read this , you are not alone, it WILL pass , take csre of yourselves
Congrats on 10 months!🎉
@benzahiphop Big up yourself. 10 months is something to be proud of and doesn't come easy.
thank you so much Paul 🙂 one day at a time mate
@@carlinj6152 thank you so much
Me too. Lost my father to it. Used to drink and do heroin with him. Been off the smack for 8 years, full time at least with a slip here and there, but am 7 and 1/2 months off methadone and alcohol.
Can’t believe we’re getting a new TOOL Album, TOOL on streaming services and there videos on TH-cam. What a time man...
I'm cuming
What a time to ride the spiral!!
My heart cant take much more lol
They finally caught on to the digital age
to be alive and breathing
I remember seeing this video for the first time on MTV, so unsettling, but unable to look away.
Yeah remember Music Videos lol, now it's pregnant teens and other assorted hot 🔥 garbage
I remember it too that was a long ass time ago now the world is insane at least to me
Me too
Me tool
Are you still on that path
"i will only complicate you... trust in me and fall as well" is too real
🔥🤘🏼🎵
“I will find the center in you..I will chew it up and leave.”
Trust me, trust me, trust me, TrUst Me, TRUST MEE, WHYYYY can't we not be so ber?
59 y/o, sober 32 years and I can still relate to this song......
Awesome! And yeah, the past will always be part of us. It's what we do with it that determines our future. It's not always easy, but it's always true.
I am five months sober and hearing this song now described me exactly how I was. Being a slave to the bottle. But now today I'm free one day at a time.
Congratulations to you. Be proud of yourself and stay strong
I never get addicted to anything but I have to say congratulations
Congratulations! Stay that way I belive in you💯
Congratulations...keep going 3 years 4 months here💪odaat
Congrats. I am right behind ya. Couple more weeks and I hit 5 months.
One of my closest friends died today of an 0verdose and he loved Tool more than any band. This is my first time listening to them and now I feel like he's with me thru this listening experience. Thank you tool.
So sorry for your loss. My prayers will be for you and all his friends and family.
The spirits always talk through music
your friend didn't know that tool was a listening experience instead of a drug addict;)
@@blacknoob6666 you don't know what that man experienced? Don't judge "drug addicts". It could happen to anyone. Even you. They are having their own journey. Sad one.
Dude im sorry for your loss
Struggling just to stay alive... love you all
Keep going 💪🏻
"I want what I want." Even before heroin & alcohol addiction these lyrics tapped a vein & hit a nerve that went beyond rock bottom. No other song so accurately & profoundly depicts the gnawing emptiness & diseased shadow aspect of spiraling addiction & depression. It hurts just as much clean as it did during my dependence which is the hardest part of living with these conditions.
Well said. Im 143 days sober today.
Edit: 7 months tomorrow

To the guy who discovered Tool at 51, I'm 63 and just heard Sober on the radio and loved it. Looked into the band and BAM!! I haven't stopped listening to Tool since. I still jam to the others but always finish the night with plenty of Tool. Their addicting with such great songs
one of the best bands we have had as humanity. The raw emotion thats put into these songs is unlike any other music i have found. Seen them live on the 25th and they sound like studio quality still.
Just tonight 11/15/2023, someone recommended that I listen to Schism and Sober, never having listened to Tool before. Wow...I have a lot of listening to do. This year has been all things 80's/90's/Seattle grunge (I love Alice in Chains from the Layne era). Tool seems to be fitting in with the sound I never knew I loved. All this at age 68.
lol old people are so cringe
What’s cringe is that you live in a shit world with nothing to look forward to, and you think you’re cool and can get on the internet and say hurp durr oLd pPl arE CriNge. Enjoy your shit life douchebag, your face is cringe
believe it or not but when i was 14 i used to go to austin access channel and listen to raw time and visit with dave the guy running it and he used to promote good bands as much as possible and he had a basket of cds he would let you choose from and that was the first time i heard tool opiate. i got the cd demo and haven't stopped listening since! amazing band and beginning album.
12yrs of alcoholism in the past today. Wish me luck...
I relapsed. Sorry I let y'all down. I'm just going through shit but Holy crap I had no idea strangers would support me. That is very sweet. I'm gonna do this again. I'm crying right now typing this but I got more love on here than i get in person. Thank you all for your kindness and generosity. Seriously thank you 🤧✌❤
You got this!! I’m coming up on 4 years... congratulations !!!
Quitter.
Good luck brother. I've had a constant struggle with this, still drinking right now but in the process of recovering. I know the demon stay strong!!
Hang in there brother.
@@StinkyGreenBud yeah fuck off m8
Still gives me chills when he screams, "Whyyyyy can't we not be sober!"

SAME BRO
Same here, a stripper once hollered out loud that part givin me a lap dance, twas both exhilarating and disturbing
feel this song deeply! chills as well!
Not really comfortable talking about my sobriety with anyone yet. For some reason i felt compelled to here. 5 months, 3 days, 2 hrs & 14 mins is when i last touched it. Thank u for this.
2 years 347 days. We got this and will not go back. I don't talk about it much either.
TOOL. These boys keep me sane. 🎶
My boss introduced me to this song. I should give him a raise
I think you need to get sober
Lol
Check out Prison Sex and 46 and 2, also by Tool. Great songs.

Keep going!!
Respect
I wish my dad would stop using for me I’m his only kid but he don’t care he only cares about drugs and his girlfriend he’s been 21 days clean because he is in jail
That's great!!! 💙💙
You have giant balls 💯
I genuinely love that they never let the bass sit in the background
To be honest the guitar spends more time sitting in the background. And other (tool) songs almost seem to put a limit or a purge on snare hits.
Seeing them live, nothing dominates, everything is a piece of the puzzle. It’s cool.
CANNOT HAVE IT LOUD ENOUGH!

I died 100 years ago, I still absolutely love listening to tool, I love them
One in a Million there will never be another kickass band like tool they pull on your Heartstrings thank you for that
My oldest brother was the biggest tool fan as a teenager, played the living hell out of their albums and drove my parents crazy. He later got addicted to meth and hit rock bottom.
He's sober almost 10 years now, an interstate trucker and still listens to Tool
Wow you're story almost stopped my heart, I'm truly happy he got better. Sending you guys my love ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why talkin on TH-cam about family affairs??? You don`t have friends, have you?
@@martinsprenz2872 no I don't, nobody loves me. Will you be my friend
Wasted
@@martinsprenz2872 bitch take that shit elsewhere. Dude told a good story about his brother. What are you contributing?
My best friend passed away in May of 2020 from alcoholism. When we were teenagers we would sit and talk late into the night about life, music, girls, and the things we wanted for our futures. So often Tool was the soundtrack to our conversations.
I came here to listen to this because he's been on my mind lately and I wanted to remember what it felt like to still have my best friend. I wanted to relive, if only for a moment, the times when we were carefree and still naive to the harsh realities of life that would inevitably steal our youth and innocence.
❤️💖
Im sorry for the loss of your friend. Tool was on my radio a lot. I'm 41 now and I watched my ex slip into meth and so much more. Listening to this reminds me of my teen years with him.
Addiction is a monster that destroys everything.

Writing skills top notch, can relate 👌 be well
I also listen to Tool in order to feel closer to my best friend who passed. She was killed in an accident by a drunk driver. Words can't express how hard this shit is. Hang in there 🖤
I know the context of the song but, I think it can apply to many different circumstances. Growing up my mother would always play this album. At the time I of course had no idea what the meaning of "sober", even was. But for some reason this was always my favorite song. Don't get me wrong, the whole album is amazing, but this song in particular holds such a deep meaning for me and many others. As I've grown older, I have become accustomed to the definition of being sober. I have realized over time I hated the idea of being sober. I just hated who I was. But as even more time went by, I could see a problem. I hated who I was even more, under the influence of drugs. And, yet I couldnt stop. Addiction is scary and makes you feel alone. Hearing these lyrics made me feel as if Maynard knew what I was going through. The raw emotion in his voice would make everything feel so real. My favorite line is "Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done". Maynard has said before, that they didn't leave the lyrics in CDs because he believed the listener wouldn't understand them anyway. But I truly believe no one can listen to this song without being affected by the story of which it pertains.
Ive never thought of this as being about a drug or alcohol addiction. I interpreted it as an addiction to the world that we cant escape.
Wait a minute, this isn't "Tool - Sober [hq - full screen]"?
Oh the times
Indeed good man
Aaaah

@@AaronTheSilver ikr, can they not work out interlaced video filters ffs.
I remember getting ready to go to my night job, this coming on mtv, and when I heard those opening chords, I was hooked! I called in sick, ran to the store to get the cassette tape (cd was too expensive then) and have never looked back! That was a little over 25 years ago. Never thought I’d be in my 50’s and listening to TOOL. May I never stop, may they never stop!
Love you bro!

lol you're beyond clueless
Addiction never goes away it just takes on a new face. I am obsessed with music and this song is my therapy.
This song always makes me think about what my mom went through trying to quit drinking (she never succeeded) alcohol is probably the worst drug to ever exist and its perfectly legal

This is my favorite song of all time. They wrote it about a friend who thought he couldn't be creative unless he was under the influence of something. As someone who grew up with a family member who never wanted to be sober, I can relate to witnessing someone close to you battle with addiction firsthand the way they did.
While I havent suffered from addiction, these lyrics strike close to my heart with mental health and the cloak of depression rings very similar to this
Only women suffer from "depression"
Same here
Depression and addiction are in my opinion always comorbid. I dont know a single addict who is not depressed. Thats why they become addicted, to alleviate. I personally am a victim of addiction due to depression. Im so jealous and proud of you for finding other ways to live. Please keep it up, you are an inspiration for me.
Really good point. Thank you. I’ve been lucky that my addiction is exercise

Underrated comment
"I will find a center in you, I will tear it up and leave." This line has always spoken to me about finding that religious core and shattering it with logic to free someone from that trap religion is. It's a very painful process for those "who keep jesus in their hearts." But I've never heard of a true born again christian who used to be an atheist, only liars.
I was fifteen yrs old when i started listening to TOOL. Now 46 still jamming to it..
RIP my girl Chastity. At 46 gone too soon. Addiction n depression plagued you but you didnt deserve to leave us. Love n miss you every fucking day.
The raw emotion of this song is the reason why I started listening to Tool.
this song is epic
it is beautiful
That painful "why" kills me every time.
Youll like my song “chasms”
I felt the opposite this was the song that made me not care for tool. I wasnt crazy into them to begin with but this song is just too soft. For a rock song who wants to hear about someone "getting sober".?

@@overused6632 Yeah I kind of get still being addicted maybe after 1 year, especially with alcoholism, but 16 years? Ain't no way you have an addiction with it anymore, it's like someone who's never smoked a cigarette in his life saying he hasn't smoked a cigarette since (his birth year).
@@pipthewarrior3738 Kinda rude of you to say that. Im proud of them just cause you aren't doesnt mean nobody is.
@@kennethnelson5522 🎉
@@isaiahlane3248 Dude that's like saying I'm proud of my brother for never having smoked in his life, duh I am but it's not like he should be celebrated for it.
I was gonna take my life last year, tool was one of the things that helped me through that shit. I owe a lot to them, thanks tool.
I'm glad you are still here.
This song held me back as well 🤙🏽
15 minutes clean from devils dandruff and this song describes how I feel so much. Shi do get better I hope *praying emoji*
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murdered now the past it cost me
Just because the son has come
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but the past and done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
AWESOME POST
Your post is very much appreciated! Thank you
Powerful lyrics
Thanks!
NOW the mother earth screams! its do or die time......straighten up or perish!
I was sober for 7 years until 4 days ago. I lost my grandmother and aunt. my father in law passed yesterday. I'm hope u all stay strong and ask god for the strength overcome the worst times so as not to fall back. my grandmother loved me at my worst when no one else did. I'll get a hold of this. I got kids that need me. " it's hard when people don't understand addiction, "it's lonely
Stop now while you are ahead. You can do this. Don’t let it get farther than it has to and harder to overcome.
If you need someone to talk with im here for ya, clean for 2 days now and its so hard, I hope things get better for you bro
You can do this!! Stay strong and healthy 💖
Maybe a lil late replying but I completely understand. I've had soberity, then lost it. It is lonely and it does suck. But some of us do understand. Stay strong, wish you the best and hope you're back on your feet. Things can't suck forever man. Even the sun shines on a dogs ass once in a while.
Stay strong!
I've always loved this song.
I've always loved Tool. Especially this song. I can relate to this immensely. I was just scrolling through Facebook and watched one of their shows performing Sober at The Club With No Name in Hollywood back in 1991. 2 years before this was actually released. It was pretty cool watching them perform at a small gathering to promote their music. Then, their first album Undertow was released in 93'.
i was sober when i first heard this song back in 1993
now im a raging alcoholic ....thank you TOOL
You must be young like Myself!
I got 2 wives I can blame, but yeah,
Rip says hell yes. Whats the next level
Just about same. 😂
but you missed the message, he is on heroin, not a baby drug like alcohol. thats like me bitching about coffee
You can’t write a song this powerful unless you’ve experienced addiction at its highest level
Evidently they wrote it ABOUT an alcoholic they knew. Not sure if Maynard or whomever wrote it knows firsthand, but if not, they did a great job capturing it regardless.
Yuppers. There couldn't be a truer statement.
I mean you couldn't write a song like this if you were not an addict.
@@davidfromboulder0.5 seconds of research to find that Maynard was never an addict lmao
The guy who wrote this song is not an addict.
Anyone who's been involved with an addict or is an addict can relate to this simple but rock solid description of what happens and what keeps happening. Salute to all those who fought their way out!
Just a higher state of understanding. All aboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This one song got me legitimately sober. Drank for so long and after hearing it the first time, realized how fucked up I was. Song is haunting and amazing.
Do you have any advice on how to stay sober
And you can have more than one. Preferably some that are selfless in nature, maybe just to be a better person and to not hurt the ones you love
true th-cam.com/video/bCnocG3ZzoQ/w-d-xo.html
My uncle was a huge Tool fan and recently passed away due to an accidental overdose. This song hits especially hard for me
Sorry for you're loss, my uncle passed the same way 2014 RIP
@Marcus Starman really dude
Better this than eulogy
100th likr
Hooiiii
For sure in the top 20 songs ever produced.
I went to a pill mill for five years to support my opiate addiction. Suddenly putting down the pills, and the subsequent withdrawal were the hardest days of my life. "I will only complicate you"....man, that was how I felt about every relationship I had. 15 years clean and sober❤
No one asked.
I will tell you for sure when you quit opiates, meth, Xanax etc it is a great world to be SOBER and start a different life through the Lord and with family that loves you! A life ya never thought you would have, bitter seeet simplicity is awesome!!!!
Whenever I get the feeling of giving in to my cravings I am putting this song on maximum volume. This helps so immensely to stay strong.
I'm fighting every day to not drown in liquor , I feel like I'm dying. But I'm still living
I will too.
complete opposite for me. craving always gets through the roof. because I listened to songs like these when I was on, I guess.
@@berserkeraztec1039 feel you. I hated liquor until I had to stop the good shit and needed a cheap alternative to get wasted. still better than being sober.
does the opposite for me! whats wrong with me? or you?
19 years clean and I still don't miss the party.
God is good.
Right on.
who
You are good friend.. more than you think.
Awesome, Keep the faith sister.
Spinoza’s is the best view of god.
Recently released from rehab. This song always hit hard, but it’s a whole different, remarkable universe now. Much love and light to all-
Keep up the good fight. I went to 8 before shit started clicking. I was going for my parents and not me for so long.
No one asked. No one cares.
Then move along no need to reply ass face
@@salazam Then don't reply douche nozzle. move along. If you havent struggled with addiction or had lost 11 family or friends then just shut the fuck up
Tool still slaps belligerently to this day. So glad I found these dudes' CD in my father's stuff when I was a kid.
5 yrs clean from meth
That's amazing! Good job, man.
Keep it up brother.
don't stop 🙌💯
i just squeaked. im so proud of you 😭 ive never done anything super hard. but what ive done i can only imagine how hard it is to get off of. thats something to be proud of cjeovnricjwk you inspire me.
@Coral Washburn put your mind to it do it for yourself. Thats the only way to beat it.
Their music is so intense, each song has such an effect on me. Love it
Crazy
I was introduced to TOOL at a really young age, my dad would always listen to undertow and Ænima whenever we were in the car, however I really liked this song and I would get really excited when it came on the radio, my dad passed away 2 years ago and we played this song at his funeral because it was one of his favorites and he requested it!, Thank you TOOL for also helping me through some dark moments in my life and having amazing songwriting skills that many others can enjoy!
Some people know this song and some people REALLY KNOW this song 🖤
I went crowd surfing to this song back in 1997 on the Aenima tour. I was about 14 years old. it changed my life!
You're such a liar too
Good ol days when we could be young and not fearful at a concert.
Holy shit!!!! Pure fuckin adrenaline dude!
Me too!🎉
@@jenniferhendrix5304 sweet as! it was def some next level shit ^^
In my opinion Maynard is one of the best at what he does. His musical & artistic gifts are proven with every song. TOOL, your group & Maynard ROCKS.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
@@adamjones6819 oh my God it adam jones
@@adamjones6819 holy shit
They're great. You both have great taste. They flew by too fast. It's wonderful you shared that together. So sorry for your loss, man.
So many years sober and I still have dreams at night about taking it, enjoying it, hiding it, feeling bad about it, denying it until I wake up the next morning sweating
You are not alone. Many people suffer from the addiction to cock. There is help.
I have recurring dreams about hiding it . Seems like they never go away
we all dream of traumas. i was never an addict (to drugs at least) but we all get nightmares when we are on a past difficult situation (and it goes wrong often.... and wake up sweating and then in relief)
@@getataste frightening they just wont go away
@@jacencibwhatever's in your consciousness before you go to bed is what you'll dream about . If you're constantly mentally fighting your addiction and it's never leaving your mind, that's probably where the dreams are coming from. Keep being a bad mf and keep clean
"I will find a center in you, I will chew it up and leave, I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down" just realized that's the whiskey talking in those lines
I always thought that was the thoughts of somebody's self-loathing. The type that just sees themselves as a burden to others, and goes out of their way to avoid any outside help, in case it just results in hurting more people.
At least, considering the last decade, which was just a downright low for my mental and physical health, that's how I've kind of read it.
@@retrogamelover2012 I think the point of tool is to hit everybody in different ways. What that line means to you can mean something else to me and that's okay cause it's not supposed to be one thing it's supposed to relate to all of us in different ways and that's the beauty of the way tool make songs especially this one.
Tool guitarist Adam Jones has stated in an interview that the song is about a friend of the band whose artistic expression only comes out when he is under the influence. "A lot of people give him shit for that," Jones explains. "If you become addicted and a junkie, well, that's your fault."
just my two cents
@@retrogamelover2012 I've never faced addiction so yeah to me its the feeling of how one may want to be the good father, son, brother, husband but then you fail for whatever reason. Maybe you get short tempered, maybe you can't help them, maybe you burden them and make their lives harder.
@MrBonniesdaddy music relates to many people in many different ways. Doesn't have to be one thing that's the beauty of it. Means something to all of us.
Living with alcoholic father
Discovered this song recently, damn, TOOL is far more than just music
"Tool is an experience." - Some fans
@@Syncopated_ that's because it is, taking you into an unknown path
Welcome to the fold
@@Syncopated_ I can attest to that fact
@mountaingoat1003 Would ibogaine help me kick Benzos?
Took my daugter and friends to see arrowsmith , tool was the opener , , beyond belief is all I can say
you're a terrible father and a liar.
Tool has been an inspiration to me since '93, i was in high school and got to see them at lalapalooza. They have been with me through everything. My children also really dig 'em now too. They are part of my fabric.
My son turned me on to Tool, he was an alcoholic and oxy user, I tried to help him stop. I was too late he passed away this June 5/22.
We used to listen to this song together. We loved Tool, He was 46.
He was my everything.
Thanks Tool for bringing your music into our lives.
Sorry for your loss
You weren’t too late, please don’t put the blame on yourself. Horrible disease
It’s not your fault, he wouldn’t want you to bare the blame.
It must have been and still is for you. My sympathy. I have been reading a lot of these comments about addiction. These lyrics talks to my heart. I am currently an alcoholic. Been for years. Lost everything then had many chances to help myself. At least I love to read these comments. It gives me inspiration when I can't find elsewhere most of the time. Thanks. Happy new year.
I guess I have to have the guts to forgive myself and start my recovery. I think that that is the best way. Thanks again
This is impressive. As a guy who has tried making stop motion, I can say that you will need to be the most patient human being ever to take pictures, create, and move the characters frame by frame.

@@tinaewan262 help need resources
Being 28 and two years sober from shooting up meth, it finally makes sense, this was my favorite song as a kid.
You should try heroin. It's way better.
Keep going strong dude
That's how I feel about red hot chili peppers "under the bridge" I am in active addiction and its killing me. I'm working on going to treatment. I'm slowly killing myself. Congrats on ur sobriety
💖💖💖I'm sooo sorry for your loss. I'm happy to know that you are able to recall good memories, especially with such an amazing band.💖💖💖
The video for this song truly encapsulates how sobriety feels to me.
I didn’t beat drugs, or abuse, or anything. I just like TOOL, and I like to party.
That's good enough :)
Fuck getting sober drinking and partying is fun lol
Thanks you for that comment good music
@@johnfinch9668 sure until a point ofcourse
